Roofs

Falls can happen off the edge of a roof, or through fragile roof materials such as skylights or plastic roof sheeting.

Temporary roof edge protection installed on a single-level residential building.
Temporary roof edge protection is a higher order control than harnesses, but more practical as the lines don't get in the way.

Use:

  • for edges: temporary edge protection such as roof guard rails or scaffold
  • for fragile roofing: skylight covers, crawl boards, or physically marked exclusion zones.

Temporary edge protection, skylight covers and crawl boards can be re-used on many jobs and are quick and easy to install.
